Play Heroes of Jin Yong Online

Heroes of Jin Yong is a 1996 DOS wuxia RPG by Heluo Studio. Explore an open-ended martial-arts world, recruit companions and search for fourteen books connected to Jin Yong’s novels.

The player is transported from the modern world into a jianghu setting populated by characters and locations drawn from Jin Yong’s fiction. Progress depends on exploration, conversations and quests rather than a single straight route.

Combat uses a tactical layout and character-specific martial arts. Recruiting allies, improving techniques and choosing how to handle different encounters shape the route through the game.

Check the DOS player’s keyboard mapping before leaving the opening area. Speak with characters and inspect locations carefully, because quest information is often delivered through dialogue rather than a modern objective marker.

Build a party whose skills cover different ranges and situations. Before a difficult fight, review health, internal energy, equipment and the martial arts available to each character.

Keep multiple saves as you explore. Some decisions, recruitment conditions and quest sequences can affect which options remain available later.
